Write your business-Nov.27

Write a paragraph to explain a new business you create.
Example: If you’re designing a new restaurant, what colors would you use for the outdoor signs, interior (walls/floor/ceiling/furniture), tableware, and employee uniform? Why? 

Use "will"  for your plans.

[Intro] My new business will be Bringing Nature Home. It will be a landscaping company. I love planting flowers and trees, and I think I am good at it.

[SS-1] I will go to people’s homes and make their gardens more beautiful. I will not need an office because I will work outside.

[SS-2] I will buy a van and paint it blue. The blue will represent the sky. When customers see blue, they will think of peaceful environments and the fresh air that plants need.

[SS-3] I will put the name of my business on all sides of the van. I will use green letters. Green will make customers think about nature and plants.

[CS] I think my landscaping business will be popular because I will use color psychology to attract customers, and I will be able to advertise Bringing Nature Home wherever I go.

Interesting concept and business. 

Subject-verb agreement. 

Use “will”: I’ll, it’ll make sb adj/verb … 

Don’t translate but remember the phrases you remember or learned from the dictionary. 

Don’t forget “a/an” before a countable noun.

Forensic science, known in Sherlock Holmes stories, is to analyze physical evidence scientifically to solve crimes.

Medical examiner, or ME, examines the body of a victim, and crime scene investigators take photos and collect traces, such as fingerprints or objects, to find clues of the crime and suspect(s).

Korea's Suneung Exam-Nov.18

South Korea Suneung exam: 'I wanted to cry and quit everything'

The Suneung is South Korea’s College Scholastic Ability Test, a standardized annual test usually held on the third Thursday in November. The one-day test determines which university each test taker can be enrolled in. About one in every five students is a previous year’s high-school graduate who wanted to try again to get better test results in their second attempt. The test starts at 8:40 am and finishes at 5:40 pm. The whole country tries to help the test takers get to the test sites on time by delaying the office hours to reduce traffic. Also, planes are grounded during the 25-minute listening test. 20 years ago, there were over 860,000 test takers for the national exam, but these days, there are only 400,000 plus students due to the decreasing birth rate. But it is still a life-determining test for students of South Korea, where premium job opportunities are limited to those who have outstanding academic credentials. Is it too much for high school students only to study for this one-day test?

Enjoy watching the video to learn about how Korean students are working on such grueling and pressuring this national examination.
